    Lol to be fair, that umpire was a candy ass for ejecting Greinke on that. Way to make the game about yourself, Blue.

    Kinda bullsh*t that they changed that Bregman error to a hit and jacked up Zack's ERA.

    Definitely looked like an error to me.

    Greinke doesn't wipe out hitters, he's counts on pitching to soft contact creating outs.

    Our defense is normally solid, but they were terrible tonight.

    Wasn’t that the play where Bregman was way in and the ball was scalded to him? He probably could make the play but it would have been a heck of a pick. Not an error.

    The shift robbed Greinke a couple time.

    I love our first base coach between 1:15 and 1:22. "Don't laugh. Don't look. Don't laugh. Don't look. Don't laugh. Don't. Laugh."

    He doesn't wipe out batters but he does get more strikeouts than he did last night. He even admitted that he lost command of his fast ball yesterday. He was throwing stuff out wide that normally would paint the edges of the strike zone.

    Yep - that was one of the worst games they've played in awhile... and a bit of flukish bad shift luck.

    He wasn't great last night... the defense was bad too though... I didn't realize he was such a poo-baller... never threw harder than 91

    It was a play Bregman should make. Could have gone either way. Definitely was hurt by some balls that could easily have been outs.

    I’d have to watch it again. My initial thought was that it was just unfortunate positioning.

    Greinke hasn't been able to throw hard for a while now, but since he is such an amazing control pitcher, it hasn't affected him much. His command is (usually) really good, but he was definitely off yesterday. Our lackluster D yesterday didn't help him either.

    The defense did not pick up the pitching, but the offense picked up both.
